Xia Siyu thought this dating reality show was just like an imperial concubine selection.
Typically, after this type of show successfully gets the go-ahead, there will be a sponsorship recruitment event, inviting a large group of people to attract sponsors. Afterwards, invitations are sent to various artists, and those interested will express their initial intentions. At this stage, nothing is set in stone; participants might withdraw or be replaced by other artists. The list Bo Yan saw before the New Year was this.
But once finalized, the production team would instead keep it confidential. The director said that, for this dating show, guests wouldn't be told specifically who the other participants are, but they could choose based on the person they had in mind.
Isn't this just like selecting concubines? Xia Siyu rubbed her hands eagerly; her liking Bo Yan didn't hinder her interest in admiring handsome men!
